Adding a new filter to Media Manager's search requires three actions:

  1. Adding a new filter to the "DigiZuite_System_Framework_Search" search.
  2. Adding the same filter to the searches "DigiZuite_System_Framework_My_Favorites" and "DigiZuite_System_Framework_My_Videoes" 
  3. Creating a new label (if one does not already exist), whose Constant matches the new Filter's ID.


Media Manager uses the search "DigiZuite_System_Framework_Search" to search for assets. A user can input text in the wide text field (this is how any FreeText filters are used), and/or choose to add filters such as "Date" or "Keywords":


2.1 Adding an Asset type filter

First the filter must be added to the search "DigiZuite_System_Framework_Search":

  1. Go to the DAM Center → System tools → ConfigManager.
  2. Choose DigiZuite™ Media Manager.
  3. Choose the version, which your Media Manager is set up to use.
  4. Click the "Searches" tab.
  5. Select the "DigiZuite_System_Framework_Search" search.
  6. Add an asset type filter.
  7. Save the search.
  8. Populate the search (see UseSolr for a more detailed guide).
  9. Ensure that the search has been populated by refreshing the page; if the "populate search cache" cog-wheel button is not present, the search has been successfully populated.


 


    10. Then you MUST add the same filter to the searches "DigiZuite_System_Framework_My_Favorites" and "DigiZuite_System_Framework_My_Videoes". 

    11. If a label with the correct Constant and Label does not exist, then you MUST create one. Unlike Add new meta data field to Media Manager's Asset Preview, if a label with a Constant matching the added filter's ID does not exists, the Media Manager will throw an error, which results in the filters being unavailable (see Add new meta data field to Media Manager's Asset Preview's section 1.2 Adding a new label for a thorough guide on how to create a label).

In this case, a label already exists with a Constant "sAssetType" and Label "Asset type".

    12. Recycle the Media Manager website.

After doing so, refreshing Media Manager will display three filters:


2.2 Removing a filter

This is done by removing the filter from the search "DigiZuite_System_Framework_Search". You SHOULD also clean up the searches "DigiZuite_System_Framework_My_Favorites" and "DigiZuite_System_Framework_My_Videoes".
